Another school day begins, and we all wish we could have just one extra hour of sleep.\nFor lucky high school students in England, they're now going to reset their alarm and get an extra hour of sleep. Instead of starting school at 9 am, students will begin the academic day at 10 am.\nThis is part of a huge study by Oxford University. The experiment will see whether later classes can improve exam results.\nMore than 100 schools across England will join the four-year experiment, which includes tens of thousands of students. It is based on(...) scientific evidence(; )that teenagers are out of step with traditional school hours.\n\"We know that something funny happens when you're a teenager,\" lead sleep researcher Colin Epsie told The Telegraph. \"Your parents think it's because you're lazy and everything would be OK if you could get to sleep earlier. But science is telling us that teenagers need to sleep more in the mornings.\"\nA similar experiment in 2009 saw an improvement of 19 percent in exam scores for major subjects - such as math and science.\nTeenagers' sleep cycles, on average, begin two hours after adults. Neuroscientists say teens have a built-in clock, which makes them more likely to go to sleep around midnight. As well as not feeling fully awake until between 9 am and 10 am. This body clock stays until the age of 19 for females and 21 for males.\nSchools are places for learning, as well as education laboratories - finding out the best ways to learn and increase knowledge.

They can be as important as what you will do in the future or as simple as what you will eat for breakfast. Any decision could be the turning point of your life.\nI made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.\nBefore I made that decision I was one of the boys who tried too hard to act as an adult. I didn't know that only kids want to show themselves as adults.\nI didn't listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades became poor. Then came the high school entrance exam.\nAt the turning point of my life, my mom wanted to have a conversation with me. I wanted to turn it down but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn't refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. Without thinking too much, I just said I would like to study hard.\nMom smiled and asked again: \"I asked: what do you WANT to do?\"\nI never seriously thought about the question. So, I kept silent.\n\"Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society,\" she went on, \"it is your own decision. Your life ought to be decided by you, not by anyone else, including me. \" After saying that, she had tears in her eyes.\nFor the first time in my life I was asked to make my own decision. I sat in my chair and thought about myself, my life and what kind of person I wanted to become.\nIt took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life--I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To achieve that, I needed to study hard.\nThe path to my future became clear to me. I didn't act rebelliously any more. With passion in my heart, I studied hard.\nNow, I'm 17 and I'm in one of the best schools in my city, in one of the best classes at the school and I am one of the best students in the class.\nThanks to that decision, I have become what I am today.\n\n<question>:\nWhich of the following is TRUE?\n\n<options>:\nA The writer made the decision that he should work hard.\nB It took the writer several years to make the decision.\nC After hearing his mother's words, the writer had tears in his eyes.\nD At the turning point of his life, the writer wanted to have a conversation with his mother\n\n<answer>:\n",

My English is very poor.\" The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the Chinese student had not heard him clearly, he said, \"Yes, indeed, you speak very well.\" But the Chinese student sill kept saying \"No.\" In the end the American boy could not understand and didn't know what to say.\nWhat's wrong with the student's answer? He didn't accept a compliment in the same way as the American people do. He should answer \"thank you\" instead of \"no\". He really understood what the American boy had said, but he thought he should be modest .In the west, people will feel proud and confident when they are praised. So if someone says the dishes you have cooked are very delicious, you should say \"Thank you\". If someone says to a woman \"You look so beautiful with the new clothes on.\" She must be very happy and answer \"Thank you\".\nIn our country we think being modest is a virtue and being proud is a bad thing, but in my opinion, being confident does not mean being proud, so sometimes you should be confident instead of being modest.\nIf you are modest and say, \"No, I'm afraid I can't do it well\" while working in a western country, the others may think that you really cannot do it. If you often say \"No\", you will certainly be looked down upon by others. If asking for a job, one says something like \"Yes, I can certainly do it\" instead of \"Let me have a try\", he or she will expect to get it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence!\n\n<question>:\nWhy was the American boy surprised at the Chinese student's answer?\n\n<options>:\nA Because he was expecting the Chinese student to say \"Thank you\".\nB Because he wouldn't like others to say \"No\".\nC Because he could hardly hear what the student had said.\nD Because he wondered whether the student could really speak good English.\n\n<answer>:\n",
